What’s the point of having a platform if you don’t use it to speak for others sometimes? These are charities that I currently support or have previously contributed toward.

826 National
826 National has chapters in cities across the U.S., promoting creative writing skills and imagination for students who might not otherwise have access.

The Anglican Relief and Development Fund
ARDF supports the poor and needy across the globe by empowering local leaders and churches to make a difference in their communities.

National Novel Writing Month
“National Novel Writing Month believes in the transformational power of creativity. We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page.”

Project Semicolon (Project;)
“Within the belief that suicide is generally preventable, the mission of Project Semicolon is to help reduce the incidents of suicide in the world through connected community and greater access to information and resources. We believe that suicide prevention is the collective responsibility of each and every person on the planet.”

World Relief
World Relief “stands with the vulnerable and partners with local churches to end the cycle of suffering, transform lives and build sustainable communities.” They have programs including refugee support and immigrant family reunification.

More to come. I’m always eager to share.
